ADC announced today that Swisscom Mobile, Switzerland's leading
wireless operator, has selected ADC's Metrica Performance Manager
software for its Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS)
network which is scheduled to be launched later this year. Swisscom
Mobile has more than 3.7mn customers, covers 99.7% of the Swiss
population and offers access to more than 370 mobile telephone networks
around the world.
"We've
had a very good experience using Metrica for our GSM and GPRS networks,
and, most recently, the solution has given us the performance edge we
need to help grow the largest wireless public LAN network in Europe and
to enhance our Wi-Fi service", said Robert Marro, head of network
performance management for Swisscom Mobile. "We believe that the
technical superiority of the Metrica solution in terms of ease of
maintenance, customization and administration, together with enhanced
features such as the report writing facility, will provide us with the
right level of flexibility and scalability to support a fast-evolving
infrastructure such as our new UMTS network."
"Swisscom
Mobile has a long history of providing reliable, high-quality services
to their customers and we're pleased to be working with them", said
David Heaps, senior vice president and general manager of the Metrica
group of the Software Systems Business Unit for ADC. "By providing
Swisscom with a next-generation performance management solution, we can
support their business now and provide the flexibility necessary to
adapt to future UMTS service requirements simply and cost-effectively."
Metrica
products are specifically designed for telco-class performance
management and have been successfully deployed by more than 200
operators worldwide across a wide range of network technologies. These
technologies include GSM, CDMA, GPRS, UMTS and most other wireless
network technologies, circuit switched voice, SDH/SONET transmission,
voice messaging system (VMS), signaling system No. 7 (SS7), intelligent
network (IN), ATM, frame relay, and IP.
